I liked being pregnant with my first. Of course there were lots of unpleasant moments (nausea, sleeplessness, etc) but for the most part, I genuinely enjoyed my pregnancy
Can't say the same this time. Everything makes me cranky and its been pretty miserable. I'm just counting down to the end -.- 6 more months to go ...

I like about 36 weeks of it. Those last four are hard.
My pregnancies have been very easy and low stress.

Nope, I honestly hate it. I don't have that awful of symptoms in comparison to some, but I have really bad anxiety during pregnancy due to bleeding, which also limits my exercise options, so I generally feel awful about myself. And yep, I'm already counting down. 6+ months to go.

Not especially. I'm 31 wks now and hoping not to get too much bigger/uncomfortable. Also I was a lot sicker in the first tri this time. But it's always nice to hear a friendly congrats or something similar from strangers. Ready to get my body back!

Some weeks were ok! I might miss it in the future.

@pinkcupcake: same as you. First one had its bad moments but I overall enjoyed it. Second one was just a lot harder physically. Of course now that I'm on the other side sometimes I get sad I'll probably never experience it again.

I actually laughed out loud at the thread title. No. No I loathe being pregnant. But I love my babies. 7 more days...

Yes, I enjoyed being pregnant, but I hated all of the doctor's appointments. I was high risk, and most doctors and nurses were not pleasant.

I'm loving it so far, but at almost 17 weeks I know that could change!

Nope- had terrible morning sickness, poor sleep and massive anxiety. And my skin looked like crap.

I do, or did. Mypregnancy with my DS was a breeze and I was so active and felt great.
This pregnancy I'm feeling more anxious. I've had a bleeding scare and Im on bed rest for 2 more days and I'm only 14 weeks. I do love growing a belly, so I'm trying to savior and relish the best aspects of being pregnant.

Not really. I like the kicks and guilt free desserts/weight gain. But I miss my body, sleeping well, exercise, alcohol. And dislike the constant aching that this second pregnancy has brought. But I know I have it easy compared to others and shouldn't complain. But since there is a thread inviting complaints, I'll take it. 
Only a few days left (I hope)

Only been pregnant once, and I was very blessed with an easy pregnancy. I loved it!
papaya / 10570 posts
Yes, I love it! I loved every minute of my first pregnancy. This one hasn't been so easy on me but now I'm over half way I'm really enjoying it again. The GD food restrictions were tough over Christmas but my bump and those baby kicks make it worth it.

No. I was so ill, I couldn't handle it. I had a nightmare the other night I was pregnant again and woke up sobbing, terrified of the sickness hitting again.

Not at all. I am incredibly grateful for my pregnancies and often feel guilty admitting how horrible I felt through them, but they kicked my butt.

Aside from it being scary after everything we've been through, I LOVED it. We're debating a second and part of my reason is I get to be pregnant again. If it weren't for our history, I would seriously look into surrogacy.

Eh. I don't hate it but I don't love it by any means. I'm just so ready for her to be here and I'm missing my body. Not that it was great to begin with lol but I have lower back pain and bending over is becoming hilarious and I'm only 23 weeks!
pomegranate / 3411 posts
I can't say I'm enjoying it these days (I'm in the third trimester general discomfort phase and sick for the second time), but I'm still fascinated by it and love seeing/feeling movement.
pear / 1558 posts
I did enjoy pregnancy. 
I didn't know what to expect, but I really did enjoy it & am so grateful to have at least been through it once. I'd love to have one more opportunity to be pregnant now that I've been through it once & have a better idea what to expect.

I loved it! I felt great about my body and I stayed super active. I had a really easy pregnancy overall.

I don't love it, but I appreciate it. I feel very fortunate that I've been able to experience it 3 times. But I don't really feel well when I'm pregnant - physically or mentally - so I guess I don't like 80% of it. I do like feeling movement and I find people smile at you more when your're pregnant, which I think is nice.

Almost 20 weeks and loving it so far.... Morning sickness, heartburn, insomnia, food aversions, back pain and all.
nectarine / 2047 posts
I loved the second and third trimesters! I felt really good and loved my body. I had no problems at all, except for terrible morning sickness in the first trimester. I actually miss is and really hope I can do it again.

I enjoyed, to a certain extent, my first three pregnancies. My last pregnancy was the effect last pregnancy because I never want to do it again!!!

I loved it the first time. I don't dislike it this time, but I would not say I am enjoying it the same way. I am definitely more anxious to be done!
cantaloupe / 6791 posts
Yes, I loved it with both of mine. I miss being pregnant and my youngest is only 4.5 months. The first few weeks (anxiety because of a previous m/c) and last few weeks (feeling uncomfortable and not sleeping) weren't always fun, but I really enjoyed most of pregnancy and I'm excited to do it one more time.
persimmon / 1458 posts
Yes I really do. My first two pregnancies and so far this one have been uncomplicated and easy.
I will say, however, with this one (my third) I'm finding it much harder. I guess because I am older and it is really hard to run after 2 kiddos. Also, my patience is just really non existent and I feel like I'm going to snap all the time.

I loved it!!!
I did not love the horrible heartburn (lasted for months), or the hip pain ... But otherwise, I loved it!
GOLD / wonderful pea / 17697 posts
No. With E I was sick all the way through (not so bad as HG, I just had terrible food aversions and struggled with weight). It ended with a long back labor with failed epidurals and a big pp hemorrhage. With G I had bad sciatic and hip pains, and had probably a dozen ultrasounds because of early bleeding, then because of an unusual placenta and higher risk of a repeat hemorrhage. She ended up being breech and a c-section.
It wasn't the worst thing ever, but I couldn't do it again.

First time: loved it
This time: meh. I'm still having nausea at 16 weeks, I'm much more negative about weight gain/body changes, and I've been in an overall bad mood throughout this pregnancy so far
